Large well located apartment
We stayed at this apartment for 5 nights and found it to be excellent - from allowing us an early check-in, the cleanliness of the place, the size of the apartment and especially the location, it made this a great place to stay on our return visit to Bordeaux

Incredible property in the perfect location
This apartment is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing view and centrally located. Our stay was absolutely perfect leaving nothing to be desired. The apartment itself was spotless and well stocked for our family. The checking in and checking out process was seamless, with easy and clear communication from the owner. Outside our door we had easy access to all the sites either by walking or transit. Hopefully we are lucky enough to return to this beautiful property.

Bordeaux fairy tale view
Overall enjoyed the property- it was quite well situated for getting around town, restaurants, night life, etc. The bedrooms were like quiet little cocoons- minimal noise for an apartment. The only item to note was both rooms had more like a Queen plus size bed. The check in process and communication with the manager could not have been easier! Very clean and tidy property.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanna Clarke

Host profile image
I am a professional writer, renovator and constant traveller. My husband and I and love French food, wine, architecture, music and culture. Originally from New Zealand and Australia, we are now permanently based in the Northern Hemisphere with homes in France and Morocco. It is a joy for us to be able to spend part of each year in Bordeaux. The city has so much to offer and when we are away, it is a pleasure to be able to share this experience with others and help them make the most of their holiday.
Since 2007, our team have had a vast amount of experience in meeting, greeting and making guests feel comfortable. We offer several one and two bedroom apartments in the historic centre of Bordeaux, and are happy to assist in every way.

Why they chose this property

The view of the "fairytale gate", Porte Cailhau, gave a magical feel to this apartment. It's flooded with light from the French windows and is comfortable, warm and spacious. We also loved that it was in a pedestrian only street, close to great restaurants, an excellent wine merchant, and a small supermarket. There are food and antique markets nearby.

What makes this property unique

The Key to Bordeaux is unusually spacious for a two bedroom apartment in the historic centre. It's very close to the famous Place de la Bourse, which is one of the most iconic images of Bordeaux. It's just one street back from the river, and the linear park that runs along it.
In the square around the corner you can eat a delicious meal, purchase an excellent selection of wine, or admire one of the ancient city gates, Porte Cailhau.
In the small surrounding streets are hundreds of boutique shops, wine bars, cafes, restaurants and artisans workshops. On the weekend, on the quay nearby, is the largest antique and second hand market in the region.
